story-deslop (AI-Flavor Remover)

Diagnoses and strips "AI-written" tells from web-novel prose — banned clichés, uniform rhythm, told-not-shown emotion, and narrator explaining — with minimal edits.

What it does

Using Chinese web-novel prose as its baseline, this skill audits a draft and rewrites the how, never the what.

  • Phase 1 – Scan: builds a table of flagged spots: banned words ("a flicker of X crossed his eyes", "took a deep breath"), formulaic sentence patterns, stated emotion, uniformly long paragraphs, explanatory/omniscient spoilers.
  • Phase 2 – Grade: six quantified metrics (banned-word density per 1k chars, consecutive parallel paragraphs, psych-word ratio, dialogue-tag density, average sentences per paragraph, redundant-description density) classify the text as light / moderate / heavy, each with its own gate set.
  • Phase 3 – Gates A–G: word replacement, pattern de-clichéing, externalized emotion ("he was nervous" → "his hand shook"), rhythm variation, colloquial dialogue, removal of moralizing endings, and removal of author-in-the-room commentary.
  • Guardrails: deletion caps (≤15% / ≤25% / ≤35%), no wholesale paragraph deletion, foreshadowing/hooks/character traits protected, uncertain items marked [需复核] (needs review) instead of cut.
  • File mode: runs check-ai-patterns.js, check-degeneration.js and normalize-punctuation.js for deterministic re-scans and punctuation cleanup, plus a character-count delta report.
  • A .deslop-whitelist file exempts proper nouns, nicknames and worldbuilding terms from false positives.

Who it's for

  • Authors, translators and editors working on Chinese web fiction
  • Writers who draft with an LLM and need the machine tone scrubbed out
  • Editors who must justify "this reads like AI" with concrete evidence and numbers

Examples

  1. Paste a passage and say "this reads too AI" → you get a detection report, a severity grade, and a before/after diff.
  2. Ask "just flag it, don't edit" → the skill outputs only the issue table with Gate labels and leaves the text untouched.
  3. Hand it a path like chapters/012.md → it pre-checks with the scripts, applies gate edits in place, normalizes punctuation, then reports the word-count change against the tier cap.

Let Claude do it — paste this into Claude Code

Install the skill I found on Claude Skill Mart.
Copy the skills/story-deslop folder from the GitHub repo zenstory-ai/oh-story-claudecode into my ~/.claude/skills/zenstory-ai-story-deslop/.
When it's done, tell me in one line what this skill can do.

Install with a command instead

git clone https://github.com/zenstory-ai/oh-story-claudecode.git && mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills && cp -r oh-story-claudecode/skills/story-deslop ~/.claude/skills/

⚠ This is a third-party skill. Check the source repository before installing.

  1. Open a terminal.
  2. Clone the repo: git clone https://github.com/zenstory-ai/oh-story-claudecode.git
  3. Create the skills folder: mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills
  4. Copy the skill: cp -r oh-story-claudecode/skills/story-deslop ~/.claude/skills/
  5. Verify the bundled references/ and scripts/ folders came along (Node.js is required to run the checker scripts).
  6. Restart Claude Code and run /story-deslop, or just say "de-slop this passage".
  7. Optional: create a .deslop-whitelist file at your project root, one exempt term per line, to avoid false positives on names and lore terms.
  8. Optional: if you use the rest of the story-* suite from the same repo, run /story-setup to install the agent bundle.
